Thirty-five young people who have spent a year in Israel serving in kibbutzim and immigrant settlements of Oriental Jews will return to the United States this week. They are part of a group of more than 100 young people, most of them recent college graduates, who went to Israel a year ago to work as teachers, social workers and medical technicians in the new settlements and as laborers and teachers in the communal settlements known as kibbutzim. All paid their own airplane fares to and from Israel and lived on subsistence allowances provided while there.
